Hi Cameron, you’re very welcome to join us and we don’t judge people by their camera. Or anything else.
There are no scheduled meetings until September but we’re usually hanging around outside the community centre 7-7.15 pm on a Tuesday evening through the summer. Then we head off somewhere for an hour or two then back to The Old Cross.
We’ll be happy to see you.

Hi
I am interested in joining the camera club and was wondering if there are any annual subs to pay. I’ve been getting interested in photography for the past couple of years and need some inspiration and direction.
Thanks,
Andrew
Hi Andrew, subs are currently £10 p.a. and have been for many years. There’s also a 30p charge on the night to cover tea and biccies.
Hope to see you on 1 September.
Thanks. Forgot to ask, what time does it finish roughly? Can’t make 1st but should get there on 8th.
We’re usually finished and in the pub next door by 9pm.
I must get round to putting all this useful information at the top of this page.
Mark
Hi there,
I’ve recently been given a Sony DSLR-A200 for my birthday (although that’s not until October) I’m looking to learn how to use it fully. At the moment I just point and click. Do I just turn up at the meeting on Tuesday?
Thanks
Gordon
All welcome to turn up. Bring your 30p and you’ll be made very welcome.

Hi
Does anyone have a suggestion for an SLR digital camera with good macro facilities? I’m looking to buy Aileen one for Christmas but asking around at the club is hard cos she’s usually with me! Any suggestions gratefully received – new or good second hand would do! Thanks, Clive

Sad news for all members: a previous member, Mick Bannister, died today after a long fight against cancer. I wonder if we should send a card to his widow Lynn from all members offering our condolences? If I’m not able to arrive in time for Tuesdays business meeting, I wonder if this could be discussed under any other business, Gerry?
Clive
Hello Ryton
I’m looking to join an active club within the Tyne Valley, my passion being landscapes.
Can you tell me, how many active members do you have?
Also I have noticed a post from Andy McCann, can you pass my email address to Andy as he may have been the same person I used to work with at Rolls Royce?
Many thanks

Hello, i am new to digital photography. I have been on a couple of courses with Going Digital and think i understand the basics. I would love to come along to the camera club but am a little nervous of just turning up. Is it ok to attend on a tuesday evening without prior notice?
